This can't be the chicken that I remember. I Ordered a half tray of chicken for my nieces and nephews,so i would only have to make sides for the week.They usally eat it like wild animals, but barely touched it last night. I ordered a small thing or chicken fried rice for myself and it was good as always. I tasted the chick from the tray and it is definitely a shoprite or acme chicken. Not the normal juicy Peruvian style chicken I've had from them. This was dry, unseasoned and disappointing. It was a big last minute order. They said they might not have it, but she said OK they did. I ordered this for my company at least once a month so know the flavor. Idk if I'll be back after they played in my face with this acme chicken. If they didn't have it lastnight, I would've happily ordered for another day.

I recently had the pleasure of stopping at this amazing Peruvian restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations! The chicken dishes had delicious flavor, and the portions were more than generous. The Aji sauce was simply outstanding and added the perfect kick to every bite. With such consistently fantastic food, it's impossible to go wrong with any dish on the menu. I recommend this restaurant.

I got the full pollo with chicken and beef empanadas. Also some salad and the dessert , alfajores.The chicken was cooked very well with the skin delicious. The flavor of the meet wasn't spectacular but good nonetheless. I feel a bit more seasoning or marinating could do better ?

We eaten here for over a decade, and the amazing cuisine and the consistency in which it's prepared, will keep you coming back!Parking: Always plenty of parking hereKid-friendliness: We've seen kids of all ages eat here with their parents. This place is very accommodating.Wheelchair accessibility: A smaller chair will maneuver fine through either side of the entrance and sides to order take out, or dine in.

There’s not a lot of good Pollo a la brasa up here. But this is close. My only thing is that I have been there 3 times total in the past month and a half. The first was GREAT. So delicious. The next time I took my girlfriend and the chicken was very very dry. It tasted like old chicken heated up again. I thought I’d go again and took my parents. We ordered four legs and they were all very dry again. It would be a perfect 5 for food if the pollo a la brasa didn’t come out so dry every time. Arroz chaufa is very good. But man. We drive 40 minutes to go for pollo a la brasa. Please have a quality check before sending out to tables!

Its not peruvian, the fired rice tastes like chinese fried rice with extra soy sauce and charcoal chicken is just bland without any favors! The store was restructured and don’t be fooled by the old review! We will never step foot into the store again!
